Finding an outfit you love and equally feel confident to rock at any party, get-together, or (in Kristina’s case) a gala, can be downright overwhelming. So we’re getting into it today! Before that though, we’re talking appropriate Christmas decorating times ... Someone may or may not already have a tree decorated and up in her house before her couch. Which, respect. Then getting into the meat of this ep, Kristina and Raeann are tackling an ongoing question and challenge for most of us— “How do you deal with dressing anxiety?”    The holidays mean prepping for all sorts of social functions, so why not eliminate future last-minute stress by sorting your fits now? Also, keep in mind that dressing up can be FUN; especially when you’re mixing textures, throwing in a feather here and there, for starters. Kristina and Raeann are giving solid advice and some practical ways to get ahead of all that potential holiday stress. We’re romancing our lives, remember? So let’s have some fun and feel good doing it together!   What We Talk About: Getting SO excited for Friendsgiving “tonight” When is the right time to start decorating for Christmas?

Navigating any food conversations with your person or potential partner can be tense and tricky. We each have a very different relationship with food but that doesn’t mean we can’t come to the conversation from a level place and not with a grenade-of-opinion in our hand. That’s why we’re so glad to have Rosie back with us to help answer a listener’s question about this very thing. The best part? We all heard the question a bit differently so you’re really going to get a variety in perspectives today!   We also get to hear about Raeann’s trip to Vegas, XS, eye-surgery update and a surprise Diplo show. This may or may not have subsequently led to an urgent care pit-stop on her way out of town to Paris. And don’t worry, we’re getting the details on what may be the perfect hookup, anddd some other possible vacation romances. Meanwhile, Kristina’s having a bit of a time getting settled after her big move and some disappointing school visits, lack-luster ferries, and a not-so-reliable babysitting situation. But she’s trusting the process! So gear up, we’ve got a great ep for you!    “Just like you don’t talk about your sex life in bed, don’t talk about your eating habits at the table.” -Raeann Langas   What We Talk About: Kristina has been exploring markets near her new neighborhood … But where’s best?  Rae catches us up on Vegas and Paris The struggle of reading signs - it’s just not that easy Rae’s *almost* regret on the eye surgery Kristina’s fulling stepping into her interior design era Answering the question, “How to accept your partner's eating habits and let them make their own food choices?” That time Steve tried to warn Kristina about the quesadilla  Answering the question, “Is there any room for input and commentary around food in a relationship?” Resources: Submit your question for the next Ask Away: Click Here Follow us on Instagram: @confidentcollective Follow the Hosts/Founders: @kristinazias & @raeannlangas Learn more: https://www.theconfidentcollective.com/ Thanks to Our Sponsors!
